Bedroom Draperies Sneak Peek And My Search For A Unique Frame For Our Chapel Picture

I had initially deliberate on conserving the skinny gold body that’s has been on the image for years now. However that body is so skinny that I saved wanting to place one thing else on that wall with it, and my thoughts naturally went to sconces since I actually like wall sconces.

A number of folks steered that I reframe the image with a extra substantial body, and whereas I wasn’t initially open to it, I began to return round to that concept yesterday. So I made a decision to go to Michael’s and Pastime Foyer to see if I may discover something I like. I used to be even feeling so good, so energized, and a lot extra like my regular self that I obtained out within the pouring rain yesterday simply to search for a brand new body.

I didn’t discover something at both of these locations. I even seemed on the customized framing choices, however nothing actually caught my eye. I actually had my coronary heart set on discovering one thing distinctive and completely different, however all I discovered (each ready-made and customized) had been simply customary, run-of-the-mill frames. None of that me in any respect.

Clearly, nothing is precise completed proper now, however right here’s a glimpse of the place that is going…

General, I adore it. In fact, it’s a must to preserve just a few issues in thoughts. First, I received’t be utilizing these spring clips on the material rings. As quickly as I bear in mind the place I saved the material hooks that got here off of these sheers, I’ll grasp them correctly. Second, as a substitute of attaching the orange and cream trim in order that the entire 3-inch width confirmed, I attempted wrapping it across the edge in order that solely half of it reveals. I actually like how that appears. I like that it provides only a contact of shade with out commanding an excessive amount of consideration like a 3-inch-wide trim would. And third, the completed material panels will clearly be pinch-pleated and held on material rings in order that the curtain rod reveals all the way in which throughout. I don’t do gathered-on-the-rod curtains. However I simply wished to get the final concept of the place that is heading.

However I’m not fully offered on the lamps. Whereas I really like the form of the bottom and the form and shade of the lampshade, I feel they’re just a little bit too tall. I may take away this piece, which I feel would make the peak excellent.

However I don’t assume I spotted simply how tough the end is on these bases till I obtained them residence. They might require an terrible lot of sanding to get them easy sufficient to color with out that texture exhibiting via. That tough texture is means too “farmhouse” for my private style. So I’ll most likely take them again and search for one thing that has the same base, related shade, however that wouldn’t require a lot prep work with the intention to paint them. Or, who is aware of? Perhaps I’ll discover some which are the right shade and received’t require portray.

However then final night time once I was on my laptop, I noticed an advert for a mirror from Wayfair that caught my consideration — this Castellanos Mirror in a natural finish (affiliate hyperlink). Instantly, I believed, “That’s it! That’s the body I would like!” I don’t want a mirror, however I can all the time take the mirror out of the body and simply use the body for my image. Right here’s what it appears to be like like.

It was extra money than I used to be desirous to spend on a body, however after giving it some thought, I spotted that it was across the value that I’d have paid for a customized body. So I went forward and purchased it. I’m very enthusiastic about it. Like I stated, I had my coronary heart set on one thing distinctive, and one thing that wasn’t only a run-of-the-mill image body, and I feel this suits the invoice. I did just a little mockup of it in order that I may see what it can appear like.

The present gold body is 24″ x 36″, and this new body is 30″ x 40″. So with the brand new bigger measurement and the eye-catching and distinctive design of the body, I feel the image will be capable of stand alone on that wall with out me feeling the necessity to add one thing else to the wall. I’m actually enthusiastic about this, and I positive hope it really works out like I envision it. It’s speculated to arrive on Monday, so we’ll see!
